Montrose County has accepted the construction of the roads, and the mine is now in a <br />warranty period with the County. SL -13 also requests Phase I release for 100.16 acres that were <br />backfilled and graded between 2005 and 2009. Sandy Brown and I conducted a bond release <br />inspection on August 14, 2012, and the inspection report was issued on September 6th. I completed <br />my preliminary adequacy review of the application on October 17th. I anticipate that the operator's <br />request for release will be approved for both Phase I and Phase III areas. <br />In November 2011, you prepared a Reclamation Cost Estimate for SL -12. Western Fuels ultimately <br />withdrew that application. I would like to request your assistance in updating the RCE for the New <br />Horizon Mine to incorporate the SL -13 release areas. The documents and maps you may need to <br />reference should be available in Laserfiche. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions, or need additional information. I anticipate that we will <br />receive an adequacy response within the next few weeks, and that I will have the Findings completed by <br />the end of November. <br />Thank you, <br />Susan L.
